We can’t say we’re all that broken up about it, though. In fact, if anything, Joffrey’s death seemed like a far more humane one than he deserved, especially when you think back to the assassinations of the far less crazy and evil Starks who perished at the Red Wedding.

Tyrion certainly had enough reasons — though really, at this point, it makes more sense to count the people who didn’t seek to gain from his death. After Joffrey’s repeated humiliations of his uncle, who would blame him? That said, we have a sneaking suspicion someone else is behind this assassination.

Were you surprised to see Joffrey meet his end at the wedding, or have you been counting down the days?
